Retuning education: Bildung and exemplarity beyond the logic of progress
Join this event to hear Morten Timmermann Korsgaard speak about rethinking the concepts of Bildung.
Retuning education: Bildung and exemplarity beyond the logic of progress
11 Oct 2023, 17:30 – 19:00
While the ideals of economic and personal progress and growth are slowly destroying the planet we inhabit and its inhabitants along with it, education – often seen as the solution to this problem – is slowly being suffocated by the very same ideals.
Morten will argue that in order to move beyond this destructive logic, we must rethink, or retune, the concepts of Bildung and exemplarity in a way that moves beyond both classical definitions of these and the logic of progress which has before determined their usage.
